Product Manager, Grassroots Digital Experiences

Stand Together, Arlington, VA, United States


Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

As our digital product organization evolves, we are strengthening how we support Grassroots and advocacy efforts through more structured, collaborative, and scalable digital experiences.

As a Product Manager for Grassroots Digital Experiences within Stand Together’s Marketing & Communications team, you will lead and coordinate a complex workstream spanning state chapters, local and national campaigns, and core web experiences. You will operate within a durable, cross‑functional team—including a Scrum Master, UX Design Lead, Tech Lead, and QA—translating diverse stakeholder needs into clear priorities, aligned direction, and effective execution. This role requires strong product judgment to balance near‑term campaign demands with longer‑term experience improvements, while ensuring work is shared, visible, and scalable. You’ll operate in a fast‑moving, mission‑driven environment where digital experiences support advocacy and engagement at scale—across an ecosystem of 100+ websites with varied lifecycles, integrations, design systems, and content needs.

How You Will Contribute

Lead and coordinate the Grassroots digital workstream across state chapters, campaigns, and national initiatives

Translate diverse stakeholder needs into clear priorities, aligned direction, and actionable plans

Partner closely with UX, Tech, and QA to define problems, shape solutions, and deliver outcomes collaboratively

Work in close alignment with Project Management (PMO) and Scrum roles to ensure coordination across intake, prioritization, and delivery flow

Balance rapid campaign execution with longer‑term experience and platform improvements

Lead continuous discovery efforts—identifying opportunities, risks, and patterns to inform direction

Define clear problems, goals, and success criteria grounded in user needs and organizational priorities

Own and prioritize the Grassroots digital strategy roadmap and backlog to ensure focus, momentum, and alignment with stakeholder priorities

Ensure a strong connection between discovery and delivery, from insight through execution

Drive clear, consistent communication of priorities, decisions, and trade‑offs across stakeholders and the team

Collaborate with web content and delivery roles to ensure efficient handling of content updates and page‑level execution, allowing Product to remain focused on prioritization and direction

Provide visibility into work in flight, risks, and dependencies to support informed decision‑making

Enable scalable delivery in partnership with the Scrum Master and team through reusable frameworks, templates, and structured approaches

Contribute to improving ways of working, strengthening collaboration, and building team effectiveness over time

What Success Looks Like

Work is clearly defined, aligned, and understood across stakeholders and the cross‑functional team

The team operates with shared ownership, not dependency on a single individual

Priorities and decisions are visible, and execution moves forward with clarity and momentum

Campaign and experience needs are delivered effectively while improving long‑term scalability

The Grassroots workstream becomes more structured, coordinated, and resilient over time

What You Will Bring

6–10+ years of experience in digital product management, digital delivery, or related roles in complex, cross‑functional environments

Experience working across multiple stakeholder groups (e.g., campaigns, business teams, or distributed organizations)

Working knowledge of content management systems (e.g., WordPress, Drupal, or similar), including how different platforms and implementations support scalable digital experiences

Experience leveraging data, analytics, and user insights to inform prioritization and shape more dynamic, responsive digital experiences

Strong ability to synthesize diverse inputs into clear priorities, structured plans, and actionable work

Experience collaborating closely with UX, engineering, and delivery partners in a team‑based model

Ability to balance execution speed with thoughtful problem definition and long‑term scalability

Strong communication and alignment skills, with the ability to bring clarity to complex or ambiguous situations

Experience managing backlogs, roadmaps, and iterative delivery in Agile environments

Comfort working across a mix of rapid execution work and more strategic, experience‑oriented initiatives

A collaborative, low‑ego mindset with a focus on shared ownership and team success

Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
